Wooden Hog Feeder j :
Proving Satisfactory
A well-built wooden self feeder (
is more durable than the metal (
self-feeder for hogs, it is the he- ,
lief of Cam Byrum. Mr. Byrum ,
often has beef cattle running with (
his hogs and finds that the metal ,
feeders become ltent up and believes ,
that the home-made wooden feeder n
will he more durable for his pur-1
l>ose. He is using treated lumber|
for the floor and lower portion of
the feeder. The feeders are being'
built according to the Extension!
plans hut Mr. Byrum is adding a
compartment for feeding minerals.
County Agent C. W. Overman he- ,
Mlevee that this mineral compart- .
ment will he a great improvement
because so often when additional,
‘ feeders are provided for hogs this
’ feature is overlooked and the hogs
Just don’t get the minerals.
